    I’ve been working on a project in offline quality. While uprezing a portion of the program I ran into something I found interesting and am looking for some enlightenment.

    Let’s say I have a 1 minute clip of a talking head. I’ve covered 45 seconds of the interview with b-roll. When I redigitized at the higher rate, because the audio was needed from the talking head the program grabbed 1:45 of video -the entire 1 min of talking head (for the audio) and the 45 seconds of B-Roll.

    I understand this, but it sure doesn’t help keep the hard drive space down. Do I need to unlink audio or something to keep the audio and just grab the video that actually appears in the cut?

    Thanks for all your support.

    before you online, you should duplicate your offline timeline, unlink the audio and video, then make all of the sequence clips independent, then create the online timeline through media manager to recapture. This should separate out all the gunk that you don’t need to capture. Also, what offline codec did you use? Sometimes, you don’t need to recapture all of that as it’s still 48k 16-bit audio.
